Driving in Heavy Rain

It is all too easy to unexpectedly come across flooding, especially on unlisted and country roads.  Flooded sections of road can often be deeper and faster flowing than they appear.  If you happen to encounter unexpected and sudden flooding, do not proceed.  Turn around and find an alternative route.
